DIY :: Wooden Jewelry

I've been working on these wooden disc necklaces on and off for a while now. I found these wooden washers on Etsy and I wanted to try and make something with them. I have a lot of embroidery floss around from my embroidery projects, here and here, so I made these floss wrapped pendants.

I used Mod Podge glue to secure the string to the wood and then just wrapped from there. When I was done, I ran some glue over the string to make sure it didn't fray or unravel. I also tried to paint a few washers with some sharpies I had around the house. They turned out OK. I think it would have done more of these if I had more colors.

And of course, I had to try my favorite technique, masking and painting with acrylics. No matter the result, masking always makes it look like you know what your doing! I really like these! The only thing they lack, is the texture of the embroidery floss ones.
